Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00453
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Idaho Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00453). The purpose is to partner with a qualified youth or conservation corps to plan, develop, and administer on-the-ground, multiple-use conservation projects on public lands in Idaho. The emphasis is not only on completing natural and cultural resource work, but also on creating structured employment, education, and public-service experiences that support BLM's mission and benefit local communities.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Only "qualified youth or conservation corps" programs may apply, meaning a corps established by a state or local government, the governing body of an Indian tribe, or a qualified nonprofit organization. The opportunity explicitly states that no other entities are eligible to respond. If the applicant is a nonprofit, it must provide a copy of its IRS Section 501(c)(3) status determination letter as part of its response. While the source data lists a broad set of applicant types (such as governments, tribes, housing authorities, and higher education institutions), the narrative requirement limits participation to those that meet the definition and function of a youth conservation corps as described in the announcement.
The funded projects must directly benefit youth and veterans through paid, meaningful work in natural or cultural resource settings on BLM-managed lands. Participants must be U.S. citizens or legal residents and should be recruited from local and surrounding communities. The target age range is 16 through 30, inclusive, with an expanded eligibility for veterans up to age 35, inclusive. A key expectation is that the corps will provide full-time, productive work along with a structured mix of work experience, education, training, basic and life skills development, and participant support. The program is designed to build transferable work habits and life skills that participants can carry back to their communities and into longer-term careers or service.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by BLM in project execution compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number is 15.243. The posted award ceiling is $45,000. The opportunity record lists an original closing date of June 22, 2021, and a creation date of April 23, 2021. In practical terms, this solicitation was built to fund conservation corps crews and related program support to accomplish BLM priority work while creating paid conservation and public-service pathways for young people and veterans in Idaho.Apply for L21AS00453
